Throughout its history, the CAT has maintained its hard reputation of being on of the toughest
examinations to crack. The CAT aspirants often start preparation at least a couple of years before the
examination and go to various coaching centers.
The CAT is conducted by the Indian Institute of Management group of institutions, headed by the IIM
Ahmedabad. It is conducted across more than 100 cities throughout the length and breadth of the
country. The seven IIMs together offer around thousand and seven hundred seats for competition.
Only the elite few in terms of knowledge, speed and logical analytic thinking power get admission in
these institutions. With the fag end of the decade drawing near, the demand for a prestigious degree in
MBA has escalated, thanks to the financial meltdown and the sub prime crisis across the world which
has been attributed to the gross fiscal mismanagement of the administrators in important positions.

with equal weightage given to all of the sections. Many IIM's have their own cut off defined for clearing
these examinations and issue call letter for the next round based on the score obtained by these
aspirants in relation to the cut off defined.
The first round of written tests are followed by group discussions and personal interviews. The IIM's take
utmost care to see to that they give admission only to the truly deserving, ones they will egg on en route
to a successful career in the finance and management lines.
